Multi-Text Unit Plan

Rationale

Context:

I completed this Multi-Text Unit Plan as part of my curriculum for CI 4030 at Appalachian State University. It's purpose is to examine an important historical time with literature so students can grasp the event with a point of view that they might not comprehend without it.

This item was not taught to my students at this time as it was more of a reference for future occasions of teaching.
